The Turmhütte on the Mooswaldkopf, built in 1904, was converted in 1923/24 into the "Memorial House of the Fallen of the World War 1914-18 from the Württemberg Black Forest Association". Today's Gedächtnishaus Fohrenbühl is a popular destination with a large terrace. From the platform of the 24-meter-high observation tower, you can enjoy a fantastic panoramic view over the Central Black Forest. You can also stay overnight in the Turmhütte. Handmade souvenirs are available in the small on-site ceramic shop. All information can be found at https://www.turmhuette.de/.

On the Fohrenbühl runs the former border between Baden and Württemberg, a border that has always been a boundary of districts, states, and religions since time immemorial. Lauterbach, as part of the former County of Hohenberg, belonged to Further Austria, but fell to Württemberg in the Peace of Pressburg in 1805. Due to the former Austrian rule, Lauterbach was Catholic. Hornberg was Württemberg, thus Protestant, and in 1810 fell by exchange to the Grand Duchy of Baden. Thus, the curiosity arose with two inns, only 25 m apart, that the "Schwanen" inn, belonging to Hornberg, was Württemberg until 1810 and then became Baden, and the "Adler" inn, previously Further Austrian because it belonged to Lauterbach, fell to Württemberg from 1805 onwards.
